I am reading McCormick's 2009 book called "The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis: How to Improve Bone Strength and Reduce Your Fracture Risk". While it is excellent and thorough, it focuses on nutrition and testing for deficiencies and how to correct. I had hoped to correct my low bone density through nutrition and supplements, but evidently never fully understood what was involved and didn't go through all the tests required (almost all of which are not done by traditional doctors nor covered by insurance). Now that my bone density has worsened significantly, I feel that I need to be more aggressive. That said, in McCormick's earlier book he doesn't advocate treating with medicine. In fact, he says when he was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and doctors wanted to put him on meds, he refused. So what I'd like to know is in "Good Bones", is he advocating for meds or is his approach still more holistic? Does he discuss Evenity, Prolia, etc?
